I have a similar problem with characters in spanish like í or ñ.
What I've done, and it works ok, is to convert to UTF8 with:
cat entry.ldif | iconv -t UTF-8 > entry2.ldif
I haven't made any changes to my schema, so I don't really know which one
I'm using. I guess the UTF-8 one
hope it helps,
Andres

Subject: ldif w/ base64 encoding
I am attempting to import a LDIF file into openLdap 2.0. The LDIF file has
the proper format. Some of the entries are base64 encoded because they
contain non-english characters like ë. What schema type will support these
characters? I have tried the following types:
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 UTF-8 string
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 ASCII String
Any ideas?
Thanks,
